“This is nothing but a pretext to take revenge for Israel’s criminal attack on the most voiceless and oppressed migrant minority. The signatories of the letter call on the Islamic Republic to immediately end these mass deportations and arbitrary arrests. This accusation is not leveled against a few individuals or groups within this community of millions, but rather against all Afghans collectively. We, the undersigned, call on the Islamic Republic to immediately end its inhumane treatment of Afghans in Iran. We ask you to break this silence and indifference—which the authorities interpret as complicity and “national will”—through humane, persuasive, and supportive means.
